I can take video and pictures no problem, the whole audio recording and syncing thing has me
i can use the gopro audio if it's coming from the tascam recorder (using the mics and preamp on the tascam). the audio has hiss and minor high pitched noise, but the audio quality is decent enough where i can just EQ the 16kHz down a little bit and use it. it's the cleanest i can get using the gopro's audio tracks.

if i want to use cleaner audio, i would use the mp3 file recorded on the Tascam and use my LogicAudio software (or garageband can do the same) and trim the audio where you want to use for the vid clips. there' no timecode so i have to manually sync it using audio references such as turn signal click or engine rpm, or if you want, snap your fingers or clap to aid in your manual syncing. you can move the audio track left/right with your curser in iMovie to time it just right.

for the audio source i just place the tascam in the cupholder area. i chose this location because it is closest to my listening plane inside the cabin. i can also talk normally while driving and my voice is recorded very audibly as if i had a lapel mic. this is where the cupholder mount comes in handy.

i can pickup plenty of nice exhaust audio and in-cabin audio including music playing off my Z's stereo. the music clarity is to the point it almost sounds like i added it in post-production.

btw, im using an older tascam model called D7. it was like $250 or something a yr or so ago.

I just ordered two new Pilot Super Sports (rear) from my good buddy Hunter at The Tire Rack.

True, they are junk tires. I love abuse -- just ask my second and third ex-wives.

Ok, I think I'm getting it. I'll look into the Tascam, or a Zoom and re-read your experimentation posts

yah, there's ones with a built-in speaker which would be very handy to use for finding the track you want to use with your video clips. if i was to rebuy i would look at something like that.

here's a list of major brand/popular recorders available.

nice! yah, i think im going to decide between a GTI or a Mazdaspeed3 from the looks of it right now. will probably have one by late Fall for sure.

i dont want to drive my G in the snow again. she did very well with snow tires but the fact that there are soooooooo many idiots out there driving around in pos all -season tires in snow/ice. just makes me feel like a sitting duck in the middle of the pond with 100 hunters pointing their rifles at me.

Im sure you will be pleased with either choice.

Winter can be nerve racking with people ignoring COMMON sense when it comes to getting around. Once you have your new all around ride no worries at all!!

Ken, I've been looking at hatches, too. Few things to remember.

1. Don't test drive a Golf R. It's too expensive and will ruin you on GTI's

2. Fiord is coming out with the Focus ST this summer. Interesting option to check out imo

3. I heard a rumor that the MS3 is getting changes for the 2013 model. Don't know what yet.

Super advice. There are so many great machines out there. I had the Abarth before the GTI. What a great car. GTI super fun. Man you could have full fleet of hot hatches and not be happy with just 1!

You're quick! I was going to ask you what you think of the Zoom H1 H1 | ZOOM it looks like it would work nicely on the top of my 7D as well, maybe too low end to do what we are after with the GoPro?
